I’m sure we’re going to be hearing about this “scandal” for the next two years (at least). Romney supporters had the audacity to discuss his campaign with other Mormons!!!!! Doesn’t he know that Mormons are not allowed to vote and organize for candidates? It’s been that way at least since Missouri in the 1830s.
As for reaching out to other religions besides the Mormons, what do the writers of this ridiculous article think he has been doing with evangelicals and Catholic leaders for the last decade? So, it’s OK for him to talk to other religious leaders for support, but it’s not OK for him to talk to Mormons?
UPDATE: The Deseret News provides crucial information denying the meat of the Globe story here.
The National Journal further debunks the Globe here as does the Article VI blog here.
To sum up: the only thing wrong that took place here was an e-mail sent to about 150 BYU alumni, a mistake that has already been corrected and apologized for. This Globe story shows tremendous political bias, has gaping factual errors and incomplete reporting and is insulting to members of the Church and the Romney campaign.
FURTHER UPDATE: Read the SL Tribune story here. The story has new information on the latest Boston Globe revelation.
Also, read this Newsbusters article on the Globe’s bias.
